River Island AW18

The new autumn collection from River Island is evidence of how the high street can do luxury properly. The latest drops from the brand champion individual style, easy layering and seamlessly moving between seasons and trends. 

Broadly broken up into four key major trends for the season (Luxe, Metallics, Campus and Terrace), you are encouraged to buy across collections and mix and match pieces as you desire.

Luxe brings statement fabrications and luxurious casualwear to the forefront in opulent all- over print puffers, shirts and trouser sets realised in rich tones of deep bronze, black and gold. Sumptuous jacquard bombers, satin fantasy shirts and slogan sweaters strike a compelling combination of tradition and modernity, dressed with side-taped trousers for an effortless off-duty evening look.

Metallics is a focused range of masculine navy, black and chocolate with a plethora of luxe fabrics and textures in shimmering shades of silver, blue and gold. Plush velvet tuxedo jackets, oversized outerwear and piped cropped trousers showcase a variety of fine details and finishing’s.

The Campus range combines tan and brown with bursts of green, yellow and purple for a classic US varsity vibe. Slogan hoodies, bold coloured knits and cropped trousers reference iconic east-coast prep, juxtaposed with the checked Crombie for a signature weekend ensemble. The hardy shearling jacket is a hero piece in the range, teamed with the relaxed cord shirt and trouser sets for a versatile approach to cold weather dressing. 

Elsewhere the Terrace collection is the brand’s interrelation of contemporary sportswear with checked winter coats, striped polo’s and rinsed denim in fresh hues of sky blue and white are mixed and matched with high-shine red puffers, a look that epitomises winter cool.
